Recurrence

Facing Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Learning that you have recurrent ovarian cancer brings on many new fears, concerns and questions. It may feel much like how you felt when you were newly diagnosed, but some women say that they feel even more uncertain following a recurrence.

If your cancer recurs, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition hopes that the information available through this website and our Ovarian Cancer Resource Guide for Women with Recurrent Disease will help empower you to make informed decisions about your treatment, and to be proactive in managing your health.

You've been down this road before - but this is an entirely new journey. We encourage you to draw on the strength that helped you through the first time.

We know this is a challenging time for you and your family. Try to stay positive, empower yourself with information, channel your strength, and most of all, remain hopeful.
